We have a unique, dedicated category of geometric design rugs and carpets and rugs that have geometric patterns and motifs and are essentially Tribal origin motifs known as Caravan collection. Caravan – the name itself conjures visualization of camels, sand dunes, picture-perfect oasis scattered with heavily laden palm trees and of course the smiling and effervescent people of the sunny desert.
Our geometric design rugs which are handmade hand knotted range has been inspired from this tranquil milieu, the primordial symbols from varied forms of art and culture and the amazing riot of colors that can be found in this most unusual setting.
After years of interaction with people from various walks of life in the mountainous areas of Kashmir, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan along with the diverse lands of Turkey, Morocco and Arabia and understanding their varied language, culture, ethnicity of art, we have been able to capture their nuances, often unexplored, in to the realm of carpets and this is what makes the collection truly magnificent and incomparable.
The geometric design rugs range embeds reflections of the mottled streams of music, drama, festivals, poetry, warfare, athletics and other forms of the tribal ethos making it a truly all-encompassing canvas of a forgotten civilization.
All our geometric design rugs are new, unused and are not old or antique, but, most of these have been given a certain look and appearance that make them feel ‘antiquated‘.
This is a deliberate feature that is much appreciated by lovers and connoisseurs of tribal art the world over. No Caravan carpet has any defect and are never repaired, renovated or refurbished as any old tribal carpet generally is.
The geometric design rugs are made in our factory in Kashmir, India along with all our other products, albeit with a different set of skilled artisans who have gained expertise in this rare and not common way of expressive tribal art.
The geometric design rugs are one of the most popular category of rugs for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and even as coffee table rugs.
Many of the Caravan designs have been motivated by original carpet motifs and patterns found in various parts of the world, including museum collections, artifacts, primordial manuscripts, sculpture, pottery, paintings (oil, canvas, etc.) and other rich forms of art and inspirations of daily life from the nomadic world.
As one may understand, many of these designs have been quite popular among carpet collectors since generations and have been known by various names interpreted in different ways, usually by the origin of the tribes, however we have chosen a simple, yet, distinct style of nomenclature for our Caravan carpets. Majority of these labels represent the unique motif and distinct style of every individual Caravan carpet in a most succinct manner.
However, you can be sure of the fact, that apart from these titles, all the geometric design rugs and carpets are deeply rooted in the antediluvian tribal form of art colored in spectacular tones with highly individualistic symbols and motifs that are uniquely singular and full of alluring magnetism.
